People management is inefficient in most organizations. Managers are asked to manage teams of people and do another job at the same time, which means one of those things has got to give. It’s usually the people management part, because it’s invisible in most organizations. Goals and metrics are based on the other job. And most managers don’t have the training or institutional support to manage people efficiently or well. It’s not a surprise that many organizations are removing layers of managers.
The problem is that employees still need to be managed. They need support and communication from someone who can help keep them on track. Without a competent, supportive manager, employees will get off track, lose focus and energy, and end up quiet quitting or just outright quitting. Removing managers entirely will create a death spiral.
The solution is to outsource people management to me and my external managers at the Tilmor Group. We created the Tilmor Process for Managing People, and we’re the leader in Prosocial Management. We can save you 45-65% on managing costs and provide better management that keeps your employees more productive, more engaged, more loyal, and just plain happier.
Management as a Service seems like an odd idea if people management is seen as a necessary part of a hierarchy. But if we’re moving to flatter organizations in general, then MaaS is the obvious next move. Excellent, competent people management that’s focused only on managing people and creates happier, more energized employees who are supported in developing their skills. It’s a win for everyone.
